A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Mrs. Walch Coufesses a $12, 900
Robbery.

Another Victory.
A Miner Meets a Terrible
Death.
A Mystery Solved.

BURLINGTON. Vt, April 9.-The mys-
terry connected with the disappearance of
$4,000 in money and bonds from A. j.
Whittemore's Office some time ago was
solved to-day by the confession of Mrs.
Eunice Walch, who was arrested on a
charge of committing the theft. Money
amounting to 81 900 was found on her
person, but in spite of weeks of search by
officers the tin cash box and $ll 900 in
stocks and bonds could not be found.
Having learned hat Mrs. Walch was a
morphine fiend, the drug was taken away
from her and this morning she acted like
a raving maniac. The city physician Or
dered the drug restored to her, and when
it had taken effect she agreed to tell
where the box was on being assured that
she would not be prosecuted. Following
her directions, the lawyer found the box
and papers concealed under the doorstep
of a house not a block away from the city
hall. She is not considered responsible
and will probably be taken to an asylum.

The Monroe Doctrine.

WASHINGTON. April although no
official announcement has been received at
the department OF state of the report that
Great Britain has threatened to seize Tor
tugas island, yet it is learned hat the
American consul at Hayti has kept the
department fully informed as to the nature
of the British claim and all proceedings
taken by that government against Hayti
during the past three or four years. Now
that the matter is reported to have as
sumed a serious phase the government,
with a view to being prepared for any
emergency, is beginning to canvass its re-
sources in case it should become necessary
to again assert in the interests OF this
country to maintain the Monroe doctrine.
The result of the inquiries into the
naval of the United States is
not encouraging so far. Several wooden
vessels forming the training squadron are
now on their way northward from the
West Indies. At present there is no YES
sci bearing the American flag in Haytian
waters. The Yantic is at Key West and
the Galena at Aspinwall, and it is posi-
Bile that one or both of these vessels may
be ordered to the vicinity of Hayti to rep
resent the United States government, 10
the event that it may become necessary to
enter a formal protest against European
encroachment in the West Indies.

cancel patents to twenty homestead entries
made in the townships bounded on the
east by Ration creek and on the west by
Turner'S creek, In the Pueblo, Col. land
district. 1t is charged that these entries,
with one exception, were all made in
the names of fictitious persons, and that
the land in question contains the largest
and finest coal deposits in Southern Col
orado, the coal cropping out of the sur
face. Mention is made of a statement
as significant, hat Il. B. Sopris, the re-
puted owner of these lands was in 1873
deputy United States surveyor, and as
such surveyed the lands but made no re-
port oftheir mineral character.

The seeds of intermittent and bilious re-

fruit. No community has altogether es-

cities bad sewage causes it, and in their
suburbs stagnant pools in sunken lots
breed it. There is at once a remedy and
a means of prevention. Its name is Hos

out peradventure, the most potent anti
dote in existence to the malarlal virus.

specific, miasmatic influences may be en-
countered with absolute IMMUNITY. Dis
orders OF the stomach, liver and bowels,
begotten by miasma tainted water, or any

ent to $780, 900 acres of land in Colorado

enormously included in the survey and
the patent of the TERRA Amarilla grant,
dated February, 1881. This recommended
ton is based upon the report of Surveyor

which it appears that the patent en-

German Table Manners

Table manners are continual surprise
to me. At first / thought that the eti-
qUette had observed was peculiar to the
parties IN whom | had noticed it. but a
friend who has had during the past year
considerable experience in north, south,
and west Germany says that it is the same
everywhere. The typical German eats
greedy, gets his head right over and close
TO his plate, and shovels in the soup with a
roar; when he attacks the second course
ne catches the knife by the blade, and the
meat and vegetables have to suffer.
Napkins he tolerates, but hasn't much
use for them. Ny landlady, when I first
came, occasionally used q napkin, but
soon got tired of it, and now, after she
has taken a swallow of beer. wines her
mouth with the back of her hand. NV
friend says in Leipsic he saw a well
dressed German after dinner take his
table knife and trim his finger nails with
1t. | have myself seen a German cut the
end Of cigar with the knife with which
he had q few minutes before been eating.
There Is 4 better side to German table
manners. What 1 have related is more
noticeable because it is SO at variance with
that part of table etiquette not directly
concerned with eating. Every time one
seats himself at table here he is greeted in
the politest manner with the time of day
or wish for good appetite. The little
courtesies of the table are asked for, re-
sponded TO, and received with the kindest
expressions. Conversation is cheerfully
carried on, and when the meal is ended
and one arises from the table, the head of
the family says: blessed meal time;'' or
